If you are Linuxian, you know what is LAMP. It's "Linux server + Apache web server + MySQL database server + PHP scripting language". They are commonly used together to form a modern dedicated web server.
However, in some project, we need to run our code in Windows box. It is not a problem since Apache web server, MySQL database server and PHP are all available and ported to work in Windows (win32) quite well.It is not fun and time consume to install and configure them individually so WAMP package is here to serve you.
WAMP is basically just like LAMP but replace "L"inux with "W"indows. You can easily find WAMP as a single software suite with easy installation process and pre-configured files.
You can get a WAMP software package at WampServer or more advance WAMP at easyphp.org.
With a WAMP software package, it does save a lot of time and let us concentrate on web development part. If I could choose a server environment, I would choose Linux anyway since I am not a fan of Blue screen box.
